I recently read Jessica and thought it was excellent. I'm really looking forward to the mini-series, which is on ten this year. I just hope they stick to the book and don't change too much around.

I've read it and would recommend it. It's really interesting and has a brilliant storyline.

I must say that Bryce Courtney, while he writes well, creating a lot of empathy, is very self involved.

After reading April's fools day, which is a touching novel, I realised how obsessed he is with his own life. I guess as an author that is his prerogative, but still.........

Power of One is very good though!

Is Four Fires any good?

I think my fave is Thommo & Hawk, then Tandia-but this had some parts that I did not like esp. the ending!!!!

I didn't like Solomon's Song as much as T&H, but it is alright, I just didn't like the end.
